What is PR?

Public relations (PR) is the practice of managing the flow of information between an organization and its publics.Public relations - often referred to as PR - gains an organization or individual exposure to their audiences using topics of public interest and news items that do not require direct payment. Because public relations places exposure in credible third-party outlets, it offers a third-party legitimacy that advertising does not have.Common activities include speaking at conferences, working with the press, and employee communication. PR can be used to build rapport with employees, customers, investors, voters, or the general public.Almost any organization that has a stake in how it is portrayed in the public arena employs some level of public relations.

Elliot. Thank you for your comment. It is true what you say and I am going to use it when presenting with my potential customers. The promotion ends at the end of June though and I don't know what VZW future plans are for the Latino Community. Have a wonderful Memorial weekend! Marina

Marina,
Sounds like your doing customer retention work to me.Obviously Verizon needs your expertise to help them build relationships to retain current or engage future customers...I can't see this huge corporation (that i worked for in the past) actually developing or building anything other than a customer base!! You and everyone else at Verizon are part and parcel of thier bottom line.$$$$

Happy Friday to you too! The job I am doing with Verizon Wireless is pure PR., how do I make my customers understand that PR is different from sales? I understand that we are always selling something even ourselves, but when I approach a customer for the first time it is so hard for them to believe that a company just want to develop a relationship with their clients and/or future ones. Do I make sense? Marina

Happy Friday Professionals....
Although my week has been hectic, I feel a sense of accomplishment as I try to feel at the end of every week....I have learned that If I'm going to keep doing what I enjoy most(PR)...I need to be transparent in my work ethics and my duties...I have nothing to hide!! And I expect nothing less from my employees!!

Good Monday To All,
The PR lifestyle is one that is most definately an acquired taste..Utopia is growing so fast I'm amazed daily...when it gets too much to handle I ask myself "Do I really want to do this?"...and my answer is always"YES"..I love what I do for a living....to me it is not a JOB...it is my Passion!! My suggestion to you is "Find your Passion" and you won't even have to try to do it well...it'll just happen!!

Happy Monday to you all!!! I am so glad I read this discussion. It could not have come at a better time. My 5yo daughter asked me the other day, what is beautiful and handsome? She said a pretty girl or a nice looking boy. I went further to explain to her that true beauty is on the inside. She said, Mom, we are all blood and bones on the inside, how is that beautiful. I explained that being smart and knowing God gave each of us gifts and talents makes us beautiful and handsome. I am glad that she understands that. On another note, according to U.S Census Bureau, we will be the majority in 2014. God Bless and Have a blessed week everyone!

Elliott,
I must agree with you. At times it seems that we loose sight of what it means to have "Pride" and seem to define ourselves by our sexuality. Though this site might seem casual as we are in our homes typing away while in our pajamas the purpose of this site is to have "PROFESSIONAL" contacts and seek "PROFESSIONAL" information. Therefore we should consider our image when we are communicating on these sites.

Good Day All,
I just had to write about "Pride"...Before I state this comment let me say that I am not a conservative by any means, but I am a Father & I am a Latino man who has fought hard to get where he is .....as hispanics let us not forget that we are still a minority in this country...so let us do the right thing,especially in our forum The NSHP....stay professional latinos...we can set examples and be proud of our achievements......But not with half naked Kitty cat photos of ourselves or tank top tee shirt shots of our muscles.(I have those too,...muscles I mean,& I don't need to expose them while networking) on a professional web forum...lets leave that for Match.com or Singles.net.....Not Here Not Now!!!!
